'Seal Team' and 'Clarice' to move to Paramount+


And that's a wrap. 

During the weeks of networks preparing to reveal their fall schedules, CBS has announced that the freshmen show 'Clarice' and 4 season veteran 'Seal Team' would move to Paramount+.

Seal Team will finish its run on CBS before moving to the streamer in the fall.

Both shows averaged around 6.1 million viewers.

The network will premiere two new dramas to replace their slots.

'Smallwood' is a comedy starring Pete Holmes, Chi McBride, and Katie Lowe and is described like this: "After being laid off from the assembly line at the GM factory, a seemingly ordinary man makes the extraordinary decision to provide for his family by following his dream of becoming a professional bowler. Based on professional bowler Tom Smallwood's life."

'Good Sam' stars Sophia Bush and Jason Isaacs and is about a "talented yet stifled surgeon embraces her leadership role after her renowned and pompous boss falls into a coma. When he awakens and wants to resume surgery, however, it falls to her to supervise this overbearing blowhard who never acknowledged her talents - and also happens to be her father."

CBS will reveal its fall schedule this Wednesday.
